Here…we…go
In less than 4 days we’ll be on the road heading west. 37 hours of driving, plus stops. 2500 miles until we reach our new home. Las Vegas, “The Meadows” in some old Spanish that I never grew up learning. It’s equally moving at a snails pace, and rapidly approaching, so fast that I don’t know if I have everything I need. If I’m ready. “Time flies when you’re having fun.” Yeah, well it also flies when you're extremely stressed out. No-one talks about that.
I’ve doing cross-country plenty of times over the course of my career and life. Sometimes making it is just 2 days. That’s wild! Sometimes planning for 3 days and extending it to 5 because we stopped to see some friends and ended up having such a good time that we physically couldn’t drive. Worth it. Small piece of advice: stop and smell the roses.
I bought some new books, downloaded some audio books, have my podcasts ready, and over a million songs at my disposal. At least according to Apple Music. I may not have time to listen/read it all, but I won’t be bored. I honestly can’t wait to move out west, it’s been on my mind for years now. I’m scared. I’m excited. I’m ready. It’s our new chapter, here we go.
